* Demand for Code4Lib 2014 was 420 450 based on registrations and wait list.
* Local registrations by the hosting libraries (Duke, NCSU, UNC) was 41 registrations.
* CONCENTRA's registration system had some technical limitations as to data input and flow, but CONCENTRA handled all processing with little assistance by volunteers.
* Make the podium laptop desktop background a plain color with good contrast. After every group of presenters clean off the desktop to keep it quicker and easier for presenters to find their slides.
* Put someone at the front of the room who is responsible for helping presenters with the presenter computer.
* Podium Computer** Most people use Mac laptops, so if there is only one podium computer, it should be a Mac.(TMM disagrees)** Ideally, both a Mac and a Windows computer should be available. (TMM disagrees, see sub-bullet below)
*** Almost all of the presentations this year used standard formats (PPT, PDF, and HTML). The podium computer needs to be under the control of the A/V and Streaming Committees for their functions. Presenters should use a presentation standard.
** Several presenters had trouble with not being able to see what was being presented -- the podium computer(s) should be mirrored by default.
*** No, the podium computer should be setup as required for streaming and A/V setup.(TMM)
* Consider pre-combining lightning talks into a single slide deck to keep the flow going.
** This is difficult when lightning talk presenters want to do a live demo(TMM)
* Consider live closed captioning software for talks and streaming
* Twitter feed of #c4lYY on screens when no presenter is up (was previously TMM edited IRC, but twitter to Twitter because Twitter feed is safer, more professional, and more compliant to code of conduct)
* Consider switches at the tables
** what kind of switches?
* Add a Code4Lib logo to the podium
* Have someone whose job it is to collect questions during a presentation and that can then ask them. Allowing for anonymous questions may lead to more folks asking.
